Welcome to the Catalysis group at the University of Udine!
The catalysis group is working in the design of new materials for advanced catalytic processes for clean energy and environment transition, and we are based at the University of Udine. Advanced catalytic materials and processes are playing and will play a dominant role to provide sustainable energy and to protect the environment. A great effort from our group is in the development of new and robust catalytic materials having impacts in the reduction of the carbon footprint and in the path to more sustainable processes. Our target is the activation of small molecules using materials prepared through new synthetic strategies and characterized with advanced tools.
